Block Rockin’ Beats was first released in 1997 and it reached number one on the official UK singles chart.

However, before his debut on EastEnders, Perry had a starring role in the Matrix themed music video.

In typical fashion, the actor played a detective who chased a pair of underground criminals through the streets of London.

With his colleague, he is seen looking through a nightclub for the two duo he tried to pursue.

The video ends with the star brandishing a gun as he cornered his two targets who knelt on the rain splattered floor in hopelessness.

He is shown on camera in a long trench coat with a moody expression on his face as he shot the thugs.

While another stated: “Billy Mitchell looks like a true gangster in this music video and I never heard of this music. Until I saw it on here. I can’t wait to listen to it.”
